Check out the forums on the GOI website, I know there are at least a few ideas and some conceptual artwork on the topic.

Oooh! You know when a ship flies away adn then you're alone and you're looking for an enemy ship for ages? How abaout a harpoon gun that keeps you and your target ship tethered in a close range for combat.It can only deploy one harpoon at a time and to remove the harpoon the enemy ship would need to break the gun. :)

And how do you guys make this stuff?

I have already set a harpoon gun on a ship, and i'm pretty sure it does tether.

Oh... I totally knew that. And what do you use to make stuff for the workshop?

probably, just schematics on the site

That sounds pretty cool but what is they created a gun on a ship thats a one shop 10000000000000 radius and is 1000 bullets and a machine gun

freeze cannons that debuff rotors, crew movement speed, and wepaons turn/reload speed. but as downside they increase or protect the components hit from ignition.

How bout something like a tv missle

a fire bolt a gut that when shot compleatly breaks and over heats when fired but it makes it so the enemy ship has 10 health

or a gun that fires bullets that hook on to a ship and explode
